The Greentown Grapevine – 1994-04, 01:04 - Page 1

Volume 1, Issue 4 April 1994
On May 3 we will have the
opportunity to vote for 2 Eastern
School Board seats and to help decide
which aspirants will move on to the
General election in situations where
there are more from one political party
seeking the right to be on the ballot in
November. To be elected this fall are
all township trustees and trustee boards.
The candidates for those positions in
Liberty, Jackson and Union Townships
will be on the primary ballot, but,
barring the unforseen, will all also be
on the ballot in November.

840 people voted of 3107 registered, or
27%. Can we do better this year? I'll be
checking the statistics and reporting to you
later. County Clerk, Jem Bourff, made two
statements worth consideration if you are
tempted not to vote, " Every vote does count;
some elections are determined by a very
small margin." " The election costs the
County ( you) the same amount whether no
one turns out or everyone does. "
Recycling Made Easier for
Greentown Area Residents
The Howard County Solid Waste District
has placed new green colored recycling bins
at the west side of Eastern High School for
the public's use. The drop off center
provides for seven categories of
recyclables, newspaper ( tied or sacked),
steel cans, aluminum cans, green glass,
brown glass, clear glass ( remove lids) and
cardboard ( broken down flat).
only. It does not need to be the same
party you have selected before and has
nothing to do with how you voted in any
previous elections. You may vote for
school board even if you do not want to
vote for any other candidates.
School boards are chosen by various
methods around the state. At Eastern all
school board seats are elected for a 4
year term on a rotating basis. Regardless
of where you live in the school district
you can vote for one At large candidate
and one Greentown candidate.
Elsewhere in this issue are statements
from the 4 school board candidates. For
these and all candidates, if you have
questions, please contact them.
Unusual Phenomenon
Were they the work of snowman-builder
Calvin of the comic strips?
Did aliens come down during the night
and form them for our puzzlement? Did
the rabbits and raccoons make them in
preparation for some Wild Winter
Olympics? No, they were formed by
the swirling winds of February 25 in
open relatively bare fields. These
" snowballs" were sometimes round,
sometimes bugle or jellyroll shaped and
had indentations in one or both ends.
Don Kendall, who has lived in
Greentown for years, said he has
never seen anything like this
occurrence.
